Abstract:
Normal subjects were ventilated by means of a barospirator, which allows cyclical ventilation without respiratory movements. It was thus possible to eliminate the influence that distension may have and allow flow resistance in the airways and the volume of the air spaces ventilated through them to become the main factors defining the distribution of inspired gas. Distribution of inspired gas was measured by nitrogen-elimination technique and by calculation of the index of alveolar ventilation. It could be demonstrated that the distribution of inspired gas in ventilation without respiratory movements is uneven, which is asscribed to different relations between the above-mentioned resistance volume factors in different parts of the lungs. airway resistance; index of alveolar ventilation; barospirator ventilation; mechanics of breathing; lung function; nitrogen-elimination curves; artificial respiration Submitted on December 31, 1964
